3. Why report an alleged incident? Alleged acts of bias, hate, discrimination, harassment and discriminatory harassment should be reported so the University can determine if any laws or policies have been violated and to support individuals who may have been victimized. Also, filing a report helps the University create a safe and welcoming campus climate that better supports everyone's ability to learn and/or work. If bias-related incidents go unreported, it makes it difficult for the University to appropriately address the issue, it diminishes campus climate, it may make some members of our community feel unsafe or unwelcome, or additional incidents may occur.
